Hello!
It's hard to believe, but she is almost a month old already! She is starting to make cooing noises, and has decided that she prefers to sleep on her side. She has also already received her social security card and birth certificate (to her parents' amazement at the bureaucratic efficiency.) Even more exciting, as of early this week, Miss Caitlin has a belly button. :) According to my mom, this opens up her choice of swimwear. It also means that Caitlin could have her first real bath, and she took it like a champ. :) At first she was a little startled about all the new sensations, but by the end she was sitting there quietly, taking it all in. She is a very curious baby!
Caitlin also had an exciting weekend; she got to meet the Easter bunny! She was too cute in her frilly dress, matching headband, ruffle-butt tights and shiny black shoes, although she wasn't totally thrilled with it. :) All the pictures are still available at:

Caitlin's (Almost) Two Week Birthday
Hello!
We are a little tired, but still going strong. Miss Caitlin has started going a little longer between eating (yay!), and has also been alert for longer between naps. She is learning to grab at things (Sean's glasses), and to propel herself forward with her feet during her "tummy time." Today, to the mutual surprise of her parents, she managed to flip most of the way from her stomach to her back, even though we were supposed to have a few more weeks before she figured that out. I guess Dad will have to learn how to speed-change diapers a little sooner than we thought.
In the mommy department, today is my doctor's appointment to find out if I'm allowed to drive again, so wish me luck. Even if I have to wait though, Sean was nice enough to bring us out last night so Caitlin could get her first Disney princess movie, although mom will probably get to watch it first.
We are also super excited because Grandma Honey and Grandpa Dave will be coming to visit this Saturday! Sean has said that it's perfectly okay for Caitlin's first pictures with the Easter Bunny to be a girl-bonding thing, although that means he gets to do the heavy lifting in the garage (poor Sean). :)
We have more pictures and should be posting them shortly to the same link (below). Hopefully the new pictures are showing up at the end of the list for everybody else. We've been told there's not enough and there's too many, so hopefully we can call it even. :)

Caitlin's One Week Birthday!
Hello!
It is Caitlin's one week birthday! It's been quite exciting so far. She's met the animals, had her first successful doctor's appointment, she's had a few outings, and while inside she's gotten to enjoy her mom, dad, and Grandma Beth, as well as bath time and playing in her swing and bouncer. Yesterday she had a very good bout of "tummy time" on daddy and was already able to squirm up his torso-boy are we in trouble. :)
The animals are acclimating to the new presence in the house; Spaz likes to sit up and watch the baby in the swing, and Benson starts to whine when she fusses, although we don't now whether that's from empathy or confusion at the noise.
She is still eating very well, sleeping very well, and filling her diapers with aplomb; she is a wonderful baby and we are still counting our lucky stars.
Caitlin's parents have also been trying to keep up with the picture demands, all of which are posted to the same link I shared last time:

And we're home!
Hello!
Today was our big day for homecoming! After Miss Caitlin finished passing all of her tests, we were both discharged from hospital. The nurses were all very impressed with how well-behaved Caitlin was, but now that we are home, I guess we will see what she is really like. So far, so good. :)
Below is a link to the pictures we have of Caitlin so far (finally!) We will try to keep up with posting new pics, in between the feedings, diaper changes, and of course, more diaper changes.
